Cameron Carr has moved into first-round territory ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft, with multiple projections placing the Baylor wing at No. 15 overall. Tuesday night is now the clearest checkpoint on his rise, and Carr looks like Baylor’s lone draft pick this season.
Chicago Bulls Slot Carr at 15
’s final mock draft sends Carr to the Chicago Bulls at No. 15, and Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Wasserman has the same landing spot. Yahoo Sports’ 10th update also places him at No. 15, giving the wing a clear lane into the lottery range before the draft starts.
The fit is straightforward. Carr is being projected as a 3-and-D player who would likely come off the bench in Chicago, with energy and high-temp ability helping him earn early minutes. That role lines up with a team looking to add a young wing without asking him to carry a heavy offensive load right away.
Combine Boosted Carr
Wasserman pointed to Carr’s 30-point eruption at the Combine as the moment that helped push him up draft boards. He also cited Carr’s massive wingspan, a trait that fits the wing profile teams usually want when they are weighing first-round options.
That climb matters because Carr is no longer being discussed as a late-first or second-round swing. He is now showing up in the same No. 15 slot across multiple projections, which turns his draft range from speculative to concrete.
Devin Vassell Comparison
Wasserman also compared Carr to Devin Vassell of the San Antonio Spurs, a useful shorthand for the type of wing teams see when they project his NBA role. The comparison sits beside the 3-and-D label and the bench expectation, which together point to a player whose value starts with spacing and perimeter defense.
For Carr, the next step is simple: whether his name comes off the board in the first round on Tuesday night. If he does land at No. 15, the Bulls get a young wing with size, energy, and a draft stock that rose fast enough to reach the lottery.
